Tree
of life
11
Sep 2013
Life can be
summed up
when we take
time to look at a tree.
It starts at
the roots:
we all need
roots to ground us.
If the trunk
is strong we stand tall,
but it can be
beaten down by wind and disease.
In the life
of a tree
the
nourishment it receives
can make or
break it.
The
nourishment it receives
can help it
withstand
the storms in
its world.
Each tree is
different as is each of us.
The tulip
tree is magnificent and unique.
The red oak
is fiery in the autumn.
The maple is dripping
with sweetness
and reminds
us to be generous
in giving
goodness to each other.
The ginkgo
tree is enduring:
it goes on
and on
and gives me
the inspiration
that my deeds
will also live on.
Trees are
worth protecting.
When we take
care of the trees,
we protect
our very lives.
